An old quote comes to mind "We need more living space!" China needs to learn that we live in the world together. I wonder what else they are going to claim?

As long as people buy products made in china, they are supporting the CCP and its actions. Buy non-chinese, as difficult as that may be these days.

"as calling the rig deployment a “strategic move”.

Only China considers the use of offshore platforms to be an extension of territorial sovereignty. This one party dictatorship (with more fascist tones than communist) is gong to take over all of Asia or start WWIII trying.

Seems reminiscence of another Asian country, during the 1st half of the 20th century.

OssanAmerica: "Only China considers the use of offshore platforms to be an extension of territorial sovereignty."

If they're the only nation that thinks as such, what's the problem?

"This one party dictatorship (with more fascist tones than communist) is gong to take over all of Asia or start WWIII trying."

Like Japan did?

Yes and that ended permanently nearly 70 years ago. On this planet we call that history. China however s a threat TODAY RIGHT NOW. I am sure even you can tell the difference in significance to peace in the world today.

If it is legal (by international law) for China to place the rigs in their planned locations then there is no problem. The only other issue I can see is that the CCP OWNs the rigs and not privately controlled businesses. Some folks here don't seem to understand that the amount of privately owned corporations in China is roughly about 5% and 10% is being overly generous.
